between watching the news and reading the newspaper, i've learned that starting tuesday afternoon through wednesday evening, we are expected to get 17 inches of snow.
but not just any kind of snow. the type that falls between 30 and 35 degree weather. so, basically, we're going to get a combination of snow, sleet, rain, and ice. this sounds glorious.
i decided to run a few errands tonight because i don't want to touch the roads tomorrow. (and by "errands" i mean i went to one destination.) my fridge is now stockpiled with 3 40s, too many bombers, and plenty of coke to get through the toughest of conditions.
i just hope school is canceled so i can enjoy it.
the real reason for posting is because i would like someone to explain the season 3 finale of dexter to me. (note: i haven't watched anything beyond the season 3 finale...so if this gets explained/resolved in future episodes, please don't ruin it for me.)
but why...when dexter gets kidnapped by the skinner...does he leave the crime scene? (i'm referring to the part where he wakes up tied to the table, the skinner is eye-ing him up, and then dexter decides to flip the table, breaks his wrist, proceeds to get out of the tied-up position, and kills the skinner.)
why did he then have to throw the skinner from the top floor onto the cop car? why did he also have to sneak out of the building immediately upon arrival of cops? wasn't it perfectly logical that the skinner (who had been going after everyone related to the prado murder) would also target dexter given his relationship with miguel prado? couldn't dexter have explained that the skinner went after him, but he escaped and killed the guy in self-defense?
this was something i was really confused about. maybe i really missed something, but it made no sense to me that he had to flee the crime scene.
i look forward to waking up to a blizzard. take care dear blogosphere.
ps: are you brackets as screwed as mine?
pps: thank you, stiche-master-flex, for introducing me to the tallest man on earth. my life will never be the same.
My best understanding as to why the season ended the way it did was that it was the last episode of the season and they had too much to fit into that last episode. I think that for Dexter to have been found at the scene would have raised too many questions that he might not have been able to answer without too much suspicion and it would have eaten up too much time when Prado had to be dealt with as well as the wedding scene.
ReplyDeleteAhmed: I'm glad you dig The Tallest Man on Earth. If you like The Wild Hunt buy Shallow Grave right now because I really don't know which one I like more between the two albums.
i understand the point about not raising too much suspicion. i guess i just felt like dexter could have logically explained why the skinner came after him: he was involved in the case. i've watched the first few episodes of season 4, and it seems like the skinner/prado dilemma will not be discussed whatsoever. i'm guessing you're right: it was the finale, and they just had to end the season in a 50 minute program.
ReplyDeleteand dude, the wild hunt is incredible. top to bottom, this has to be one of the best albums i've ever listened to.
i'm a huge fan of grooveshark.com (if you're not familiar: it's a website that lets you listen to any artist/album for free. you can listen an unlimited number of times. there are no downloads unless you legally purchase the music.) i've literally listened to the wild hunt 20+ times in the last 48 hours.
the songs from the album are listed alphabetically, so i'm assuming that they aren't in that order on the album...but as it is, "burden of tomorrow," "kids on the run," and "king of spain" are all in a row. those 3 are probably the best "set" of 3 in a row i've ever listened to. i don't think i've ever heard an album that flows so powerfully like that.
i have every other song by him available on grooveshark on my queue...so i'm sure that will take up my next few days.
Alright, I don't want to turn the comments of your post into a circlejerk for The Tallest Man on Earth, but here's an awesome concert of him from a few months ago for free on NPR.
